At the northernmost reaches of Sarasota Bay is Cortez. Cortez is the oldest working fishing village in Florida. The flats around Cortez are a good place to look for inshore gamefish. This place tends to attract redfish and larger seatrout in shallow water. The deeper channels and mangrove islands attract a fair number of snook as well.
Sarasota Bay is home to a wide variety of species that can be targeted with a fly rod. Long Bar is a historic bar that divides the southern two thirds of the bay from the northern third. It’s an area where anglers can catch redfish, seatrout, snook, and tarpon during certain parts of the year. The clear water here offers some excellent sight fishing opportunities for fly fishing.
There might be more species you can catch in this location or in the area, but the current page and description focusses on these fish species.
